The Algeria international helped City overcome the League One side, scoring his 10th goal of the season at Rodney Parade

Riyad Mahrez has expressed his delight after Manchester City defeated Newport County 4-1 to advance to the FA Cup quarter-finals.

After a first-half stalemate, Leroy Sane broke the deadlock to open the goals surge with Phil Foden grabbing a brace before the Algeria winger sealed the victory thus, rendering Padraig Amond’s effort a mere consolation.

The former Leicester City man who made his 35th appearance in the encounter has now taken his goal tally to ten in all competitions this season.
